Realtor Marketing Gone Overboard? Or am I Overreacting?

I receive real estate agent crap all the time in the mail. It's very annoying and I would NEVER HIRE ANYONE who resorted to "cold calling" to get business. Sorry, but any good agent DOES NOT NEED TO ADVERTISE. I know six amazing agents and they find their business through word of mouth and simply doing a good job.

There is one agent who keeps sending junk mail to my house (with my property info, photos, etc), even went as far as to use a return sticker from a pet adoption agency! Nice way to get my wife to open the letter. After 3-4 of them I decided to get even.

This is what I did:

1. I went online to the University of Phoenix and ADT and filled out all their "request more information" form and used this agent's information. Both of these companies will call 3-4 times a day regardless if you ask to be taken off the list.

2. I took his mailing address and registered a ton of junk mail.

Some of my friends say it's going overboard. Some say it's perfect. To me it's getting even. I don't need some real estate agent who can't hack it to be sending me nonstop junk mail with fake return addresses. Especially when he's sending me property tax information (yes, I know it's public information but still) or photos of my area and house.


That's pretty funny OP, but it's also mail fraud. Be careful bragging about it


You are an idiot and unethical. I hope to never hire you. You committed a federal crime, and your computer/electronic device can be found.
